Superbase Evolution

Chapter 758: The Leader of the Scapegoat Group

Lin Shen rushed back to Zenith Star overnight, wanting to meet with Emperor Tianshu and explain to him that Tianrenyuan had asked him to go on a diplomatic mission to the Diman tribe.

But he couldn't even enter the gate of the imperial palace. Only Tian Congyun saw him and brought him a message.

"The Tianren Academy is the highest functional department of the Tianren Clan. The decision passed by more than half of the seats in the Tianren Academy must be implemented, and no one can be exempted."

Lin Shen pondered in silence. Emperor Tianshu asked Tian Congyun to convey this message to him. The meaning was very clear. Lin Shen had no choice but to go to the Diman tribe this time.

"Dean Tian, you have to understand the emperor's difficulties. After all, it was the emperor's own decision before. All matters within the clan are decided by the Tianren Academy. The emperor's words are naturally as good as a promise and he cannot go back on his word." Tian Congyun comforted Lin Shen with a few words, but it didn't have any practical significance.

After saying goodbye to Tian Congyun, Lin Shen walked back in a depressed mood.

This time, the Celestials are sending envoys to the Diman tribe in order to bring back the Celestials' sacred object, the Celestial Statue.

Legend has it that the statue of the celestial being was formed from the life foundation of the first immortal of the celestial race. Although the statue itself has no power and can only be used as material at most, it has extraordinary significance for the celestial race. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the clan's treasure.

In the past, every emperor of the Celestial Clan had to worship the statue of the celestial being when he ascended to the throne. This was considered orthodox.

But hundreds of thousands of years ago, during a civil war among the Celestials, the statue of the Celestial was lost in the chaos of war.

Just a few years ago, the Diman tribe actually found the statue of the celestial being that was suspected to be missing. However, at that time even the celestial beings themselves thought that the statue of the Diman tribe was fake, so they didn't take it seriously.

Until recently, the Diman tribe invited appraisers from several major tribes, and even an appraiser from the Celestial tribe, to appraise the celestial statue together. The final result of the appraisal was that the celestial statue was most likely the one that the Celestial tribe had lost.

The Celestial Tribe could no longer sit still and had been negotiating with the Diman Tribe, hoping that the Diman Tribe would return the Celestial Tribe statue.

Unfortunately, given the relationship between the Diman tribe and the Tianren tribe, how could they easily return the Tianren statue to them?

After more than half a year of negotiations, the two sides still failed to reach an agreement.

The Diman tribe didn't say they wouldn't give it, but the conditions they proposed were simply impossible for the Tianren tribe to agree to.

Lin Shen's main mission on this mission to the Diman tribe was to re-identify the authenticity of the celestial statue, and also to negotiate with the Diman tribe again, hoping to get them to make concessions and negotiate a price acceptable to both parties.

Of course, although Lin Shen is nominally the head of the delegation, in fact the delegation has a professional appraisal team and professional negotiation experts, and Lin Shen is not needed for these.

Lin Shen, the nominal leader of the group, is actually useless.

The reason why Tianrenyuan wanted to send Lin Shen to the Diman tribe was probably because they knew that he had a grudge against Catherine of the Diman tribe, and wanted him to suffer in the Diman tribe. Moreover, if the negotiations failed, he would definitely have to take the blame as the head of the delegation. If the people in the delegation made trouble again, Lin Shen's life would be even more difficult.

Anyway, he will not get any good share in this trip to the Diman tribe, and he will definitely take the blame. If Catherine secretly attacks him again, he might even lose his life.

Although the envoys also had immortal guards, Lin Shen was very skeptical that those guards would care about his safety. You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. Lin Shen even suspected that these immortal guards were sent by An Yi to deal with him.

Even if he could come back alive from the Diman tribe, these guards would kill him along the way and just blame it on the Diman tribe.

But think about it, An Yi shouldn't be so despicable. If you really want to kill him, there's no need to go through so much trouble. You can just break down the door of Tianshiyuan, catch him and kill him.

Having said that, one still has to be on guard. Fortunately, he has now achieved Nirvana, so he is not completely powerless against ordinary immortals.

“I wonder what the Fatty’s strength is like after his rebirth?” Lin Shen looked at the Fatty in the backpack, who was still sleeping soundly.

Since this guy's rebirth on the Super Burning Star, he has returned to his pattern of eating and sleeping. He still looks like a fat pigeon, no different from before, and no one knows what his real strength is now.

The newly bought backpack is also a Paradise brand, but it is the highest-end series of Paradise brand. It is woven from immortal materials. The material is impervious to water and fire, difficult to be damaged by swords, and has good breathability, but cannot be penetrated by liquids. It can also withstand some damage when carried on the body.

The product was good and the price was good. In order to buy this backpack, Lin Shen sold a batch of his spiritual bases.

These spiritual bases were obtained from the Superburning Legion, and Lin Shen didn't feel sorry at all for using them.

As I was walking, I suddenly saw a familiar figure at the foot of the wall in front of me. It was an old man with mixed hair. He was huddled at the foot of the wall. He was still wearing that tattered cotton jacket, with his hands tucked into his sleeves. He was sitting on a small stool with a chessboard in front of him.

"Brother, long time no see. Do you want to play a game?" Zamao Laotianren also saw Lin Shen and greeted him with a smile.

"Uncle, why don't you set up a stall in the market and come here?" Lin Shen walked to the opposite side of Zamao Laotianren, looked at the chessboard and said, "I know a little bit about chess, but I really don't know how to play Go at all. I can't play it."

"This is not Go, it's Gobang." Zamao Laotianren said with a smile, "Do you see the prizes over there? They are all good things. If you win a game, you can draw a lottery and you may win any prize. If you can win ten games in a row, you don't even need to draw a lottery and you can pick any of the prizes above."

Lin Shen looked in the direction where Zamao Laotianren's finger pointed, and saw a broken wooden shelf on the wall next to him, with several things on it and a simple lottery box at the bottom.

Lin Shen took a closer look and found that the names and descriptions of the items were written underneath the prizes.

"Nirvana-level pet capsules... the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man... the dagger used by the Emperor of Heaven... the Five Thunders Blast Heaven Fist manual..." Lin Shen read through it and almost laughed out loud.

The introduction of those things was really out of the norm, even the combat uniforms that the Emperor of Heaven wore when he was young were included.

"How much for one game?" Lin Shen didn't believe that these things were real. If they were real, any one of them would be priceless. Why would that bastard set up a stall here?
Zamao Laotian pointed to the sign next to him, which said it was ten yuan per time. If you won, you could participate in a lottery, but if you lost, no refund would be given.

"Okay, then I'll play a game." Lin Shen got the mutated Yu Linglong from Zamao Laotianren, which helped him a lot. He spent a little money to make Zamao Laotianren happy, but he didn't expect to really win anything from him.

Lin Shen would never believe that he could win those treasures with ten dollars.
